New York CNN —Gannett, owner of the nation’s largest newspaper chain, announced that its more than 200 publications, including USA Today, will not publish presidential endorsements in the run-up to the November 5 election.
The newspapers aren’t alone in declining to publish presidential endorsement in the 2024 race.
“Until now.”In 2020, USA Today again broke with its own tradition, this time offering its first full-throated endorsement for Joe Biden’s candidacy.
David Mastio, who was part of the USA Today opinion team that published the 2020 endorsement of Biden, called the decision deeply disappointing.
“I am deeply disappointed that USA TODAY has lost its voice at this critical time for our country.”
